web-server/proxy-server on one machine for over 10 years now. It's always<br>
had slackware on it. I just upgraded to slackware 14.x (don't remember<br>
sub-release number, but the newest), and it's the only thing I'll run on a<br>
server. Because I always know everything that's going on with it.<br>

Slackware was my very first linux experience- way back when Slack 2.0 was<br>
the latest and greatest. I love slackware.<br>
<br>
This machine, however, is running lubuntu. A highly-customized lubuntu.<br>
Which I like a lot.<br>
<br>
Wonder how much Micro$loth and Crapple paid Adobe to stop supporting linux<br>
with their flash distributions? I had to install windblows to access<br>
Xfinity on anything other than my droid-pad and my iphone. bleeeech.<br>
